How is the study program structured?

The study program consists of the vocational first subject Health, a general second subject (e.g. German or Politics) and an educational and social science core study (the latter includes, among others, pedagogical-psychological contents, didactical models, or developmental aspects of vocational education). The modules of the first subject are studied at the University of Applied Sciences Fulda, the modules of the core study and the subject didactics in Kassel.

A special feature of this program is that there is the option of a second variant, in which the second subject of nursing from the bachelor's degree continues to be studied.  In this variant, the Master's degree enables students to teach at vocational schools of nursing, but access to the second phase of teacher training is not possible. The prerequisite for this is that the second subject of nursing has already been studied in the bachelor's degree (see link).

The master's program comprises four semesters and 120 credits, which are distributed over the following areas:
